hum, interesting list. Not sure if I want to be an art teacher and be “quirkily unstable” or the science teacher and have access to large amounts of dangerous chemicals. Such fun choices.

My wife plays this game every year but she has slightly different pieces. They include Phys Ed. teacher, Counsellor and Librarian.

Haha! Yeah, seeing a PE teacher face off with a Librarian would make an interesting battle. 😀

Very cute. I think I’d be the World Language Teacher but, as one of my assumed default characteristics, I would be opposed to competitions and could not participate, thereby losing before I started. Hmm. Maybe I’d best review the list again…

Thanks! She does pretty well, though she’s the last one to believe it. (I’ve no idea where she gets that from!)
